Renowned physicist Michio Kaku Tuesday took the Ruby Diamond Concert Hall audience through a whimsical journey of what a super high-tech future could look like for society.

He shed light on theoretical innovations, as well as interfaces and inventions that have already occurred or are being used but have yet to be popular, like artificial organ transplants or driverless cars.

"Every industry is going to be digitized," Kaku said to a crowd of hundreds of curious listeners.

From digital contact lenses that will be like mini computers, to intelligent wallpaper and "smart pills" that would detect cancer via artificial intelligence, “You will have infinite information anytime, anywhere,” he said.

Robots will be used more, but will not replace the need for workers in jobs that require human interaction and intuition, such as lawyers and counselors.

Virtual reality would no longer be just for games. In an augmented reality, it would be woven into daily life. He compared future settings to Star Trek's holodeck.

“The future is going to be seamless going from platform to platform," he said.

His book, “The Future of Humanity: Terraforming Mars, Interstellar Travel, Immortality, and Our Destiny Beyond Earth,” released last month, is the latest to be added to The New York Times bestseller list. It feeds the curiosity of humanity’s age-old wonder: Can we settle elsewhere?

If you want to be a billionaire, the futurist advised the mostly college-aged crowd, digitize the middle man in an industry or business. Find the friction or aggravation present in an industry, and digitize it to relieve them.

Breaking down physics into edible language for viewers, the author, speaker and science popularizer, who is co-founder of string field theory, has been featured on several television series, including the BBC’s “Time” and “Visions of the Future,” and the History Channel’s “The Universe.”

The next big thing due for a digital overhaul, Kaku predicts, is medicine. Technology in medicine is already advancing, but he presented the many ways it would become more widespread: Surgeons will manipulate 3-D models of the human body during operations, and artificial organs would be grown and incubated to replace injured ones.

In a world where nanotechnology and computers run many aspects of society, there's one thing that's still No. 1, Kaku says.
